This started out as a test of the Boss Jock app for recording on the iPhone. But I thought I might as well send it through to the feed to let you all know I'm still alive and to wish you a Happy New Year.

Looking for podcasters, or just people with a microphone, who would like to chat about their particular part of Canada.

First of a series of 'ramble casts' from vacation on the South Shore of Nova Scotia. Talk about getting back at it, and my daughter attending Camp Courage, a week long camp that that exposes young women to non-traditional careers as Police Officers, Firefighters, and Paramedics. http://www.campcourage.ca

While you're waiting for the next Zedcast, (which is coming very soon I promise), why not pop over to my other podcast and have a listen.

It's called The Running Shoe, and it's an
interactive show about Running, Fitness, Nutrition and Road Racing. The
Running Shoe is a weekly 1 hour call in show hosted by me, Bruce Murray,
marathon runner and road running coach.
Whether you want to run your first mile or a marathon, my weekly
topics will give you the information to help keep you running happy,
healthy, and injury free.

Come by and ask a question.
The show is recorded LIVE on Thursday nights, 9pm EST / 6pm PST on the TalkShoe Network.

I am constantly blown away by the thoughtfulness and generosity of the podcast community. Todays Zedcast was produced entirely by my Friends. I knew nothing about it until I woke up early this morning to get some work done before the kids got up and found this in my GMail. It is without a doubt one of the sweetest, most thoughtful things I have ever received for my birthday.

I have been heartsick over the lack of activity in the Zedcast feed. It is not for lack of inspiration or want of muse. It is purely a Time & Priority thing. I am writing notes and recording snippets constantly. But none has ever reached the point of show-ness. During the first year, I put off my (paid) work, my family, and my running group to produce the Zedcast. During the second year I tried to do it all and put off my health as well. This year I have spent more time with my family, gotten back to regular marathon training, and my business is flourishing. This has left little time for anything else.

I will be back at the show in some form after Dec 5, but I know better than to make any promises beyond this.

I am still subscribed to over 200 podcasts and listen all day long. And the friends represented here are always at the top of my listening list, though I don't tell them often enough.

Greetings Zed Heads! It's the long awaited start of the Podcasters Across Canada
tour! Today we are beginning our journey in the wonderful-grand province of
Newfoundland and Labrador with Dana, (Wanker Girl), the host of BLARM!

We have a new TOLL FREE Zedcast Listener Line:

I have another Podcast called
The
Running Shoe on the
TalkShoe
Network
It is an interactive call-in show dedicated to running, fitness, nutrition, and
road-racing. It's on Thursday nights, 9pm(EST) [6pm (PST)] or you can listen to
the archived shows anytime at
TheRunningShoe.net

Greetings Zed Heads! This is just a short announcement to let you know that as I transfer audio files from one hosting service to another you may experience additional downloads of older Zedcast episodes (numbered from 001-039). Please listen or delete them as you wish with my apologies. The feed should settle down after a few days.

I am on vacation for the next two weeks and will be releasing several new Zedcast episodes, (numbered 040 and up), including audio and video from Podcasters Across Borders 2007, new stories and the long promised Podcasters Across Canada. Stay tuned and Happy Canada Day to my fellow countrymen, and Happy Independence Day to our friends and neighbours in the United States.

Greetings Zed Heads! I'm back from vacation with a tale of many buses
(and micro-buses). My father contributes a story about a family trip
when I was four. I get up on my soap box for a rare rant against
government sanctioned killing. I'll introduce a new segment to this
Canadian Podcast. And we'll top that all off with some podsafe travel
music.

When I was 23 years old I sat down and wrote a list. It was a list of
"Everything that I wanted to do before I died, but was putting off
until... someday". And I realized that 'someday' was never going to come unless I
started doing some of those things today. Over the next several weeks
I'm going to tell you about some of the things on The List. Some that I
have accomplished, and some that I'm still working on.

Happy New Year to Zed Heads around the world! Welcome to the first Zedcast of 2007. I'm your host, Bruce Murray, and I'm heavily medicated AGAIN! This is becoming an annual event, the post Holiday flu. This podcast was supposed to out before Jan 1, but my throat was in no shape to record for the past two weeks.

Season's Greetings from The Zedcast. A very special Christmas story episode. You'll hear fun and funny, quirky, wacky, nutty, and just plain nice stories from Zed Heads around the world. There are contributions from people aged 8 to 85, podcasters and listeners, friends and family. And by special permission we'll play some wonderful new Christmas music from Pictou Singer-Songwriter Dave Gunning, from his new CD entitled "Dave Gunning - Christmas"

Zedcast 035 with your host, Bruce Murray. Today I'm heading up to Halifax Nova Scotia for 3 birthdays, 2 Christmas parties, A Ballet, A Play, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree. A driving cast, (apologies for the background noise). Next Zedcast will include a segment called "A Funny Thing Happened One Christmas..."and I'm looking for listeners to record a short funny memory from a Christmas past. There is a short deadline (Dec 19th) so click on the My Chingo button on the side bar or the Odeo link and record a message. You can also call the listener line 1 (206) 495-6565.

Well, my studio, my day job and the (beautiful) weather are conspiring to keep me from getting a show out, but I persevere! We have the answer to the Trivia Question and the results of the Listener Poll. Today a short story about how "The List" got started. All this, AND Podsafe Comedy Tunes. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to the 11/27 Crew!

Visit the website at http://talkshoe.com and listen to the show or download the TalkShoe client,
(PC or Mac), and create a free account to be able to interact with the
host, (that's me). You can log in through your computer for listening
and text chat, and/or then Skype/Gizmo/phone in to be on the show LIVE!

Come by and say hello I'd love to talk with you, - Bruce

you are calling through Skype, be patient it takes a little longer to
connect than regular Skype-Out - BGM]

Your Prodigal Podcaster has returned! I know that you've heard about all you can stand about the Expo in California BUT I've been held hostage by my technology for the past several weeks so now it's my turn.

I've just replaced the hard drive in my computer for the fourth time in as many weeks. And I've spent much of that time re-installing software and getting back-up files replaced on each drive. But the new drive is permanent and I should have the recording studio back up and running in the next few days.

As I work on editing all of the audio from the Podcast and Portable Media Expo (The Expo). I thought you might like to check out some of the other projects that I have been involved in recently, outside of the Zedcast feed.

I was a guest host on the Podcast Morons show and did a segment on editing:

Hi everybody. this is not the show that was supposed to be in this spot but all will be revealed in the show. Podcasting from the Los Angeles Intenational Airport on the way to the Podcast and Portable Media Expo in Ontario, California. We hear some older clips of friends and an in-depth discussion of Snick Snacks Lots more to come from the PME!

BATMAN RETURNS!...sort of...
The Caped Crusader gets a new side-kick and takes on a band of hooligans. Then we take a trip back from Kingston in a story with many... misadventures. Thank-you for staying subscribed during my summer break. I will be heading to the Podcast & Portable Media Expo at the end of the Month. The Zedcast is nominated for Favorite Podcast and Best Storytelling Podcast at The Podcast Peer Awards.

The Zedcast is ONE YEAR OLD and we're hitting the road to Kingston. I'm your host Bruce Murray and I've been in the witness protection program for the past couple of weeks. But now that law enforcement is closing in on the terrorist elements that threaten the Podcasters Across Borders conference, I can finally get a show out. This week, I'll talk about Lies we tell our children (not safe for young ones) and something from the "be careful what you wish for" categoriy and lots of feedback.

The second half of the New York City Marathon Cast will be up next week. This is an interim podcast to catch up on some news and notes and to introduce a new series, and tell you about what it was like moving to a small town in Nova Scotia.

We're really pushing the envelope with this one, stretching the boundaries of the Podosphere. Even though I will always try to dispel some of the stereotypes about Canada and Canadians, this ends up being an episode about Hockey and Tim Horton's coffee. Oh well.
